Regarding the question about WP.com followers, this is something that we are looking to improve so that in the future, your WP.com followers can continue being notified of your new posts even after you've from WordPress.com to WordPress.org.

Another thing that you could do is enable Site Redirect to point visitors to your new site.

If they are migrated to follow me on .org site, but aren't told about the new posts via reader or an email, is there anyway they will know? Could an RSS feed (if they use one) tell them? I have already posted to say I have moved to .org and could they follow me over there but not had much response.

One thing about migrating wp.com followers, it is not so simple at the moment -- they will be stored in the correct database following the migration, but won't see your new posts in Reader and won't receive notifications by email. This is something that's on developers radar to fix, though I don't have an estimated timeline for this.

I can migrate your email subscribers right away -- would you like me to do that?

Also, would you mind pointing me to the forum thread(s) where you saw that wp.com followers can be migrated now?

I have just exported my blog from wordpress.com to WordPress.org and I want to bring both my email and wordpress.com subscribers with me. I have read in these forums that Jetpack now has the ability to do this. I have installed the JetPack plugin but I can't tell if all of my emaill and .com my followers have come across - are you able to help me please?
